Third grade artists created these beautiful “Blue Dogs” after learning about Louisiana artist George Rodrigue and his fun “Blue Dog” paintings.
Coloring our Rodrigue dogs with oil pastels and painting the background with tempera paint.
A few of our colorful dogs – one of the things the students enjoyed the most was giving their dog a special name and putting it on the dog collar! See more of this project on our ARTSONIA on line art gallery!
Learning goals:
I can tell a friend two facts about artist George Rodrigue.
I can draw a “Blue Dog” in the style of Rodrigue.
I can use color in a creative and thoughtful way to complete my dog portrait.
